Become a Cat Socializer at the Harbor!
Love Cats? Love Coffee? Join us Wednesdays anytime between 1-3pm (any or all of the time) enjoy a cup of coffee and help socialize our adoptable cats and kittens. For a shy or under-socialized cat, the world can be a scary place. If a cat feels threatened by the world around them (even if these threats are imagined), they can quickly withdraw from social activities and spend all day hiding. What we want is for our cats/kittens to gain or regain their confidence. Working with a shy/fearful cats takes time and patience, but the experience is extremely rewarding!

Love Dogs? Love Pastries?
Join us at the Harbor Fridays from 3-5pm (any or all of the time) and become a dog walker/socializer.
The benefits for our adoptable dogs are simple and proven effective
• Exercise keeps shelter dogs calm, happy, and content
• Improves the behavioral, mental, emotional health and overall well being
• Increased socialization
• Increases our dogs chance for a quicker adoption, because they are far more relaxed, happy,and calm
We all know that spending time with a dog has benefits for us humans! Dog waking improves exercise motivation, stress control and community spirit…just to name a few.
Thank you to Donut Palace of Winchester for providing the delicious pastries for this program. See you at the Harbor!
